Father's Day: You owe it to your dad to watch this one song performace.

I love the show Immortal Songs 2 because it has some great meaningful songs in the show, and today the show had another very emotional and touching song for me, and this time it has nothing to do with girls. It has something to do with my dad, and I'd like to share it with you all.


Please watch from 53:13, and please watch JinHo's introduction to his song.
It was a very emotional performance, and it really hit me when JinHo sang,

 "Your blooming days were sacrificed, and turned into fertilizer to nurture my days."

It's 100% true. My dad (and my mom) worked in a restaurant for 9 years now, and they work hella long hours, sometimes up to 14 hours a day. They started off working 6 days a week, and now they're down to 4 days a week because of their health. They are literally slowing dying and turning into fertilizer just so my sister and I can have a better life. I am always grateful for this aspect of their sacrifice, and I'll do everything in my power to repay them.

Sidenote, I think my dad is pretty damn successful. He came to this country with literally $500 CAD in his pocket, and now he has 2 kids, one of which has graduated university, is going to Korea to teach English, and has the option to work on his blog, or to play music on a $30k grand piano, and also has a car to drive around and do fun stuff with his friends. The other one is also well on her way to success, having made it into the pharmacy program, and having a great work ethic as well. Good for you dad, good for you.
